This is my DT inspiration for you this time around.

A simple card.

5.5x5.5 kraft card base.
Matted front with slightly smaller layer cut from an autumn themed paper pad
from Crafters Companion.
I die cut some flowers and leaves and added some orange mini beads to the flower centre.
I colour a chipbaord bird to sit on the branch of a tree on the paper background.
I stamped a sentimnet on to a piece of the kraft card and placed it at the top left corner.

ANYTHING GOES with optional twist STENCILLING

This is my inspiration project for you.

Well this was completely out of my comfort zone! But I really enjoyed this project!

I took an A4 piece of black card and cut it in half and used one half to mat the front of my card.

I
had recently bought some Dawn Bibby stencils, have no idea why as mixed
media is not really my thing. But there it is, they were in my stash
and needed to be used at least once.

I
took some white Gesso and thinned it down a little with some water then
used a spatula to spread it over the stencil. This was the result. You
can't see very well but I put some drops of Nuvo Pearl Drops on the
'tail' bits and some glitter on the 'leaves'. I think it turned out
quite well!

Hope you like what I did and it will inspire you to join in with our challenge.

Remember its an 'Anything Goes' challenge and the 'twist' is always optional but please do try the option in your project.

I love using these Scandinavian Christmas pads.

So quick if you need a card in a hurry. And they come in other designs too.
Birthdays, Summer, Ladies, Gents, Vintage.
I hope you like what I did with this one.

About Me

I started making jewellery and cards when I was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer in 2009. It helped take my mind off what might happen if the treatment didnt work. I found I enjoyed it immensely!. Jewellery making wasnt my thing, I have arthritis in my hands so picking up tiny beads was not always possible lol. So I decided on the cards. The treatment DID work and here I am 8 years later with a lot of side effects to contend with but still alive.I enjoy my card making immensely and have made a lot of friends, hopefully I will make a lot more through blogging and my Design Team work.
